8 Sights & Landmarks in Male That You Shouldn't Miss

May 13, 2022 Velvet Champine

The island capital of the Maldives teems with high rises and narrow streets, all ringed by seawalls. Shopaholics can savor Male's flavors in the local markets, which are packed with fresh produce, and along Chaandanee Magu, the spot for local souvenirs, such as carved wooden dhonis, miniature replicas of the boats dotting area waters. The golden-domed Friday Mosque presides over the landscape, while the underwater riches of the atolls lure scuba enthusiasts from around the globe.

Grand Friday Mosque

Reviewed By chathuandishanka - Kalutara, Sri Lanka

The largest mosque in male and built with donations from many Islamic countries. The surrounding area is also very clean and neat and you may spend some time here. It is allowed to enter the premises for everyone including ladies if you are not wearing revealing clothes. This is my first experience inside a mosque as it is not allowed to enter them in most of other countries. Good place to blend in with local culture and get to know a thing or two about them.

For me it was very interesting experience to see the House of the Maldivian President. It is not allowed to go inside, of course. But it's still a nice sight from outside.

Tsunami Monument

Reviewed By el0dp - Cluj-Napoca, Romania

In 2004 a very strong and heavy tsunami hit the Indian Ocean and took lots of lifes in many countries... This monument is to remember them. Don't expect anything special and it's also kinda far from the downtown. But if you like walking as me, you should visit it.
